PVAC is a coalition of health professionals and institutions, community groups and residents, public health organizations, municipal and state agencies, academic institutions, schools, day care, housing and environmental groups committed to improving asthma and environmental conditions that affect health in Western Mass.﻿

Northeastern University is currently offering a FREE online program for school teachers and staff – “Asthma in the Classroom: What do teachers need to know?” Led by Michele Hart RN, BSN, AE-C of Baystate

The program provides information about asthma triggers, symptoms, and warning signs; it also identifies helpful resources, and aids in developing school policies to address air quality issues.

You can receive 0.1 continuing education units or 1 contact hour – just complete a post test and a certificate will be emailed to you.
